looks good, I like how it came out. I want to color my IForged Seneka's diamond black inside and was thinking to take it to a shop to get it powdercoated. If I'm not mistaken, paint will eventually chip, no?

haha well i have my rims painted black exactly like jaeshim. my wheels are in perfect condition no chips nothing. plenty coats of primer paint and clear coat. along with careful driving by not rubbing the wheels on the curbs.
i guess it would really depend on where you live. i live here in socal so theres nothing really that would damage my rims

same here, I have my rims painted black and they have held up well, we've had about 3 snow storms that I've driven on the rims and even with the salt onthe roads, they have held up fine, no chipping or fading in the paint.

my thread came back lol
well, my tsx went through 10 + inch snow in Michigan and came to NJ.
car was not driven in snow , and it was also parked in covered parking space, but the weaher was just cold.
in fact, my brake pad paint is now all gone - - , sucks because i do remember i did a bad job cleaning the brake before painting.
as for tha rims, it is still in perfect condition. the lip is peeling off a little bit because i used a index card covering the lips of the rims when painting, and those spots werent perfectly sanded.
otherwise, the rims are in perfect condition.
